Benefits of technology

[0007]The object of the present invention is to remedy these major drawbacks by proposing a device which is particularly well adapted to improve the level of protection of the key, the ergonomics and the ease of use which are essential factors today so that vehicle equipment is acceptable to users. This device also permits a specific positioning of the key in the container so that the transponder of the key may interact in an optimal manner with the reader of the security system of the vehicle.

Problems solved by technology

However, these boxes do not allow easy and ergonomic operation to simplify the task of the operator.
Furthermore, they are very difficult to incorporate in the passenger compartment of a vehicle.
This solution does not allow the key to be sufficiently protected.
Moreover, current containers are not ergonomic, for example they do not permit opening with one hand.

Embodiment Construction

[0041]In the example shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B the container comprises a housing 2 having the general shape of a case comprising a tubular body (first part) closed on one side by a base and having on the other side a opening sealable by a cover 3 (second part) in order to be able to position a key 1.

[0042]In the region of the opening, the lateral faces of the body are extended by two lateral parallel slide rails 4D, 4G joined to one another by the extension of one face of the body. Said slide rails comprise a lower part acting as a guide. In the region of their connection with these slide rails 4D, 4G, the lateral faces of the body comprise two axially re-entrant cavities CD, CG into which two respective oblong parallel apertures LD, LG open, oriented according to the longitudinal axis of the body.

[0043]The cover 3 has a U-shaped transverse section of which the lateral segments 3D and 3G are intended to be engaged on the lateral sides of the slide rails so as to ensure an axial guidi...

Abstract

A device for positioning and holding a key in a container including a cover and a casing. The device includes an opening / closing mechanism enabling the cover and the casing to be mobile in relation to each other at least in rotation, about a rotational axis, between an open position providing access to a housing of the container and a closed position. The device also includes a locking / unlocking mechanism of the cover and the casing, at least in a closed position, comprising a locking / unlocking control device which is mobile in translation following a translation axis.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a device for positioning and holding an emergency key.[0002]It relates, in particular but not exclusively, to the positioning and holding of an emergency key in a system for starting a vehicle, it being understood that for this type of application the container has to make it possible to ensure easy and ergonomic positioning of the key in its housing, and removal of the key from its housing, inside the container. Moreover, it is necessary to guarantee good security of the closure of the container.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Many solutions have already been proposed for concealing an emergency key within a car. Thus, in particular, magnetized boxes exist which have a cover which may be placed, for example, inside the wheel arch. This type of box is frequently used in the United States of America. However, these boxes do not allow easy and ergonomic operation to simplify the task of the operator. Furthermore, they are very diff...
